Cloud management

Ubuntu OpenStack is fully supported through Ubuntu Advantage from Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Advantage provides efficient systems administration, fast problem resolution and access to the Ubuntu and OpenStack experts as and when you need them. You can choose the level of support you need based on your workloads and cloud setup. And now, Ubuntu OpenStack — The Canonical Distribution provides the quickest and easiest way to build and manage your OpenStack cloud.

Landscape is the systems management tool for Ubuntu OpenStack included with Ubuntu Advantage. It allows you to manage, audit and report on your Ubuntu OpenStack cloud, and services running within it, making your entire environment more cost-effective.

Ubuntu Advantage pricing

Canonical’s cloud pricing is now based on availability zones, which we define as an isolated part of your cloud infrastructure, protected from failures elsewhere. Availability zones allow you to design and grow your OpenStack cloud without counting the number of physical nodes in production or having to upgrade your Ubuntu Advantage contract.

Ubuntu Advantage includes everything you need for your cloud: support, management, an unlimited number of Ubuntu guests, and Swift or Ceph storage options, all for one competitive price.

If availability zones don’t apply to your enterprise, pricing is instead based on the number of datacentres.
